After monitoring a couple of Chip Kelly drafts it’s easy to identify the players he believes give him a chance to win.

First you focus on talent at the big schools. Then you look for size and speed in the players. Beyond that the prospects need a solid football IQ. How tough can it be running the Eagles draft? Where can we apply?

The Eagles did what they needed to during the three-day draft. Five of their seven picks play defense, which they didn’t do real well last year. It sure looks like the pieces are in place for them to take the next step.

That’s the easy column.

The real story right now in the NFL is sweeping social change.

Remember when a kiss was just a kiss? In case you missed it the NFL went mainstream Saturday when its TV network showed Michael Sam and another man lock lips after the defensive end out of Missouri was drafted by the St. Louis Rams.

It was an event because Sam is the first openly gay football player to be drafted. Truth be told, it seemed a little awkward for Sam, who technically was the one who was kissed.

Obviously Jones ignored what went on in the Dolphins locker room last year with Richie Incognito. The Dolphins fined and suspended Jones from all team activities until he undergoes sensitivity training.

Jones issued an apology. When he thought about it, he realized he was wrong. Football players tend to be emotional. They react. Some overreact. The good ones largely are more disciplined. Increasingly restraint needs to be shown off, as well on the field.

Many applauded the Rams for reaching out to Sam, and rightfully so. Give the Dolphins credit for taking a stand with Jones. There’s no room for bullying in the workplace, NFL or otherwise. The Dolphins have a program in place. Jones is what happens if you don’t follow it.

The NFL is serious about bullying and any form of discrimination. The league quietly is implementing sensitivity training on various levels to all of its employees. Anyone employed by a team is going to receive training as the league attempts to discourage indiscretions, not just Incognito’s alleged off-the-field bullying of teammate Jonathan Martin last year.

The Eagles rookies are going to get their sensitivity training in the near future although Eagles ownership, to its credit, made a huge statement fining wide receiver Riley Cooper and ordering therapy for him last year after he shouted racial epithets at a security guard. Cooper bounced back with a career season and was signed to a new contract.

Then there’s the NFL and its stand on the use of the Redskins nickname. Commissioner Roger Goodell has said the league is trying to understand the objections of Native Americans. Goodell basically maintains “Redskins” is a tradition, the name of a team, and not an epithet. Washington also is the second-most valuable NFL franchise.

Then there’s Richard Sherman. You don’t have to like everything you hear from the Seattle Seahawks cornerback, who recently signed a contract extension making him one of the highest-paid players in the league.

But it’s worth listening to Sherman, an intelligent guy who told Time Magazine, in so many words, the NFL isn’t as “concerned” about the Redskins nickname offending Native Americans as it is about making money.

“I don’t think the NFL really is as concerned as they show,” Sherman told Time. “The NFL is more of a bottom line league. If it doesn’t affect their bottom line, they’re not as concerned.”

You can see where this is going.

How can the NFL tell its employees and players to be sensitive to such matters as bullying, racism, sexism and same-sex partnerships and whatever without taking a rock solid stand on the use of Redskins?

There is no universal answer for all of these social changes.

There is a lot of hurt and angst ahead.

But change is inevitable.

And if the NFL wants to lead, not just make money, it has an opportunity to do just that.
